Pace strong from Adelphi going forward with Etincelle kicking up. URIZUNBE (8) opened this prep last start with a third, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Has a win and one placing at this journey from three starts. Course and distance winner. Boxed on well fresh and fitter again. Expected to go close. A BIENTOT (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten 10 lengths. Made some late ground fresh. Strips fitter and can figure prominently. STELLA DE LUX (13) has been in the market at his last couple of starts since resuming but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing sixth over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Look for a better run this time out. YOUNG AMERICANS (7) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Has to be respected.
